Observation of Cough Variant Asthma Treated in Combination of Chanqin Granules.

Summary

This single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was undertaken at an outpatient clinic in Shuguang Hospital. Newly diagnosed cough variant asthma adult patients with the T.C.M. pattern of pathogenic-wind are randomly divided into treatment and control group, with 60 patients in each group. Clinical observation of the Respiratory Impedance and Inflammation in Cough Variant Asthma adults reated in Combination of Chanqin Granules.
